Challenges & Opportunities • (1) Invariably Parish groups’ members are committed & content to do whatever task of them by their group but not so for the Parish…. . . • Unable to see ‘bigger parish picture’. • Seeing only the Micro leaving the Macro perspective of the Parish.
Challenges & Opportunities • Awareness & importance on 3 PPP. • (2) Lack of Integration, Unity & Cooperation within, between & among some Parish groups/ Parish. • These Groups work in divergence rather than convergence. • Leading to a ‘burnt out’ Parish. • Consequence - rebuilding from scratch.
Challenges & Opportunities • (3) Resistance to Pastoral change. • Inconsistent commitment to follow through Pastoral initiatives to address 3 PPP among & between Parish 4 language sectors.
Challenges & Opportunities • “ Parish Groups/ministries leaders & members after being trained in their respective group are suppose to grow up & come up to serve at the Parish level” • Moving from Micro to Macro level of leadership.
Challenges & Opportunities • (1) Timing is right to come together to discern because opportunities & providential moments once gone, will never come back. • Prejudice & Distrust cannot and will not build a Parish. They can only tear us apart. • (2) Cash in on our Parish Diversity. • Use it as a forte to build and grow the Parish rather than a crack line around which our Parish fractures.
What is Parish recollection 2014? • (1) A spiritual compass. • SHC Parish Pastoral Planning /Retreat. • key Parish leaders gathered together as a Parish Family to seriously : • discern, pray, reflect, review how best to shape & chart out a more refined, relevant, renewed, Parish-owned roadmap and to embrace this to address 3 PPP in line with DOPP.
What is Parish recollection 2014? • (2) key parish leaders going through the process of owning & becoming Parish prime agents of change/ implementation this blueprint on how best to address the 3 PPP.
PR 2014 MAXIM • A due process for Parish Leaders: • To discern on owning, embracing & living up & out the role of Servant hood & journeying together as Church united to address the 3 PPP moving from : • “ Oneness in groups” to “ Oneness in Heart & Spirit for the Parish Family”.
Parish & delegates’ expectations • Act by praying to get involved. • Paying attention & listen to God’s voice & will. • The art of choosing well. • Sorting out ‘Weeds among the Wheat’.
Expectations • Active participation & reporting. • Feedback/ contributions from all delegates. • Summary & Compilation on KEY points gathered to address 3 PPP. • A refined & updated Pastoral Direction & Roadmap on how best to address 3 PPP & embrace it with a Parish Mission Statement.
Expectations • Pass resolutions for ALL delegates on: • 1) To own & embrace this renewed Parish Pastoral Direction & Roadmap by all 4 Parish languages sectors. • (2) All Parish leaders to commit to inform, share & disseminate to all the respective groups’ members & 20, 000 Parishioners this renewed direction & support all pastoral measures to be taken on how best to address 3 PPP.
Calling for Leadership • (1) Exercise Leadership with humility Compassion, Commitment & Love. • (2) Pray for Holy Spirit to docile in our mission to practice servant hood & journey together with the 6 Cs: • Cooperate; Collaborate; • Complement; Converge; • Communicate; Create Unity & integrate as Church & Parish.
Challenging Way Forward • Prayer is essential. • SHC/CMI Parish intercessory Prayer group to pray for success of Parish recollection as well as all delegates personal prayers.
The PGCG • Until & Unless 4 Parish language Communities could come to terms & own the 3 PPP, the task of coming together to commit & embrace to work as prime Change agents to address PPP, SHC Parish cannot &will not move forward to grow pastorally to a higher level as the worthy and mature mother Parish of KK Archdiocese.
